Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas detection technology, specifically to a gas detection alarm device for a police quadruped robot. Background Technology

[0002] In the complex and ever-changing field of public security operations, police officers shoulder the sacred mission of safeguarding social order and public safety.

[0003] Following an explosion, the scene often contains not only residual hazardous factors that could trigger a secondary explosion, but also the release of toxic and harmful gases such as chlorine and hydrogen sulfide. These gases are colorless and odorless, yet can silently cause serious harm to the human body. Similarly, leaks of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas, if not handled properly, can easily lead to fires or explosions, and the leaked gases themselves may also pose a toxic threat to human health. While covert investigation and evidence collection are crucial in counter-terrorism and emergency response operations, concealed environments often harbor unknown risks, including the presence of hazardous gases, posing unpredictable dangers to police officers on duty. Furthermore, post-disaster relief work is of paramount importance, but disaster areas often contain various harmful gases, such as toxic fumes from chemical leaks and the stench of decaying matter, seriously threatening the lives and health of rescue personnel.

[0004] Currently, police officers often overlook such situations during their responses to calls, and few are equipped with gas detection alarm devices. Even among teams that are equipped with such devices, the handheld gas detection devices they use mostly rely on traditional detection methods. These devices often require personnel to be in close proximity to the pollution source, which undoubtedly increases their safety risks when performing their duties. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the high safety risks posed by the need for police officers to come into close contact with pollution sources when using handheld gas detection devices at potentially hazardous locations, this invention provides a police quadruped robot gas detection and alarm device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A police quadruped robot gas detection alarm device includes a robot body and a gas detection mechanism. The robot body includes a frame with four leg structures. The leg structures are arranged in pairs on the left and right sides of the frame, with each pair of leg structures spaced apart. The robot body includes a power supply and a walking controller, which are electrically connected. The power supply powers the leg structures. The gas detection mechanism is mounted on the top of the frame and includes a housing. Inside the housing are a signal acquisition and output device and several gas sensors. The gas sensors are electrically connected to the signal acquisition and output device. The power supply powers the signal acquisition and output device and the gas sensors. The signal acquisition and output device is remotely connected to a terminal alarm device. An air pump is installed outside the housing, with its suction pipe extending into the housing. The housing has an air intake port.

[0008] Using the above structural design, the walking controller can control the movement of the leg structure, enabling the robot to replace police officers in entering the scene. The gas detection mechanism uses a vacuum pump to draw gas from the scene into the casing. Gas sensors inside the casing can detect the gas entering the casing, and the signal acquisition and output device can transmit the detection data to the terminal alarm device. If there is a harmful gas with an excessive concentration in the scene, the terminal alarm device will issue an alarm signal.

[0009] As described above, the police quadruped robot gas detection alarm device can replace police officers in entering the scene to detect toxic and harmful gases, promptly detect potentially dangerous gases on site, provide technical support for the next steps of police operations, enable police officers to prepare countermeasures in advance, and reduce the safety risks of police operations.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of a gas detection alarm device for a police quadruped robot, the leg structure includes a thigh and a lower leg. The thigh is rotatably connected to the body via a first rotating shaft, and the thigh and lower leg are rotatably connected via a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft is coaxially connected to the output shaft of a first rotating drive, and the second rotating shaft is coaxially connected to the output shaft of a second rotating drive. Both the first and second rotating drives are electrically connected to a power source and to a walking controller.

[0011] With the above structural design, the thighs and calves of the four leg structures can move independently, thus enabling not only walking but also a variety of other movements, such as stepping, squatting, and crawling.

[0012] In a preferred implementation of a gas detection alarm device for a police quadruped robot, the end of the lower leg away from the thigh is rotatably connected to the walking wheel via a third rotating shaft. The third rotating shaft is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the third rotating drive, the third rotating drive is electrically connected to the power supply, and the third rotating drive is electrically connected to the walking controller.

[0013] With the above structural design, the robot body can also glide on the ground using its wheels, resulting in less noise.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of a gas detection alarm device for a police quadruped robot, the first rotary drive is located between the thigh and the body; the second rotary drive is located on the side of the lower leg facing the middle of the bottom of the body.

[0015] By adopting the above structural design, the space occupied by the leg structure is saved, and the first and second rotary drive components are placed on the side close to the fuselage, reducing the possibility of collision between the first and second rotary drive components.

[0016] In a preferred implementation of a gas detection alarm device for a police quadruped robot, the third rotary drive is located on the side of the walking wheel facing the middle of the bottom of the robot body.

[0017] By adopting the above structural design, the space occupied by the leg structure is saved, and the third rotary drive component is placed on the side close to the fuselage, reducing the possibility of the third rotary drive component being hit by a collision.

[0018] As a preferred implementation of a police quadruped robot gas detection alarm device, the plurality of gas sensors include at least a liquefied petroleum gas sensor, a natural gas gas sensor, a chlorine gas sensor, a phosphorus hydride gas sensor, a hydrogen sulfide gas sensor, and a sulfur dioxide gas sensor.

[0019] The above-mentioned structural design enables the simultaneous detection of multiple toxic and harmful gases, improving detection efficiency and enhancing the safety of police officers.

[0020] As a preferred implementation of a gas detection alarm device for a police quadruped robot, an air pump is located at the top of the housing. The air pump's suction pipe is equipped with a first one-way valve, which only allows airflow from inside the housing to the air pump. The suction port is equipped with a second one-way valve, which only allows airflow from outside the housing to inside the housing.

[0021] With the above structural design, if no detection is required, the robot body can be placed in a safe environment. After the air pump removes the air, there are no toxic or harmful gases inside the shell, thus avoiding the gas sensor being in a detection state all the time and extending the service life of the gas sensor.

[0022] As a preferred implementation of a gas detection alarm device for a police quadruped robot, there are two air intakes, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the shell.

[0023] The above structural design improves air extraction efficiency.

[0024] As a preferred implementation of a gas detection alarm device for a police quadruped robot, a gas collection hood is installed on the side of the air inlet facing the outside of the shell, and the gas collection hood is horn-shaped.

[0025] The above structural design improves air extraction efficiency.

[0026] As a preferred implementation of a gas detection alarm device for police quadruped robots, the terminal alarm device is a handheld terminal alarm device.

[0027] With the above structural design, the handheld terminal alarm device can be carried by the user, making it convenient for frontline police officers to obtain information about toxic and harmful gases at the scene in a timely manner.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0029] The police quadruped robot gas detection and alarm device can replace police officers in entering the scene to detect toxic and harmful gases, promptly detect potentially dangerous gases, provide technical support for the next step of police operations, enable police officers to prepare countermeasures in advance, and reduce the safety risks of police operations.
